I have a fairly thick skin when it comes to critique, but it's just the sheer volume of excellent talent out there ... it's so overwhelming.

You have to develop a thick skin when you start showing your work to the world. <br /><br />Every one of those artists you're looking at probably felt the exact same way to begin with. With writing you have to write a million words of crap before you get good, I'm sure there's something similar in the art world.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6322386558772290247.post-30349510721862020362009-09-13T16:59:19.836-05:002009-09-13T16:59:19.836-05:00@ Laura Eno ...

It was VERY much appreciated, even though all of the candy was gone a couple of days later. heheStef Howertonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14361466229507887214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6322386558772290247.post-69838967545303642712009-09-13T07:58:57.627-05:002009-09-13T07:58:57.627-05:00You already know this, but I'll repeat it for ...You already know this, but I'll repeat it for you anyway. Your feelings of inadequacy are normal, all artistic endeavors are subjective, you must love what you're doing in order to succeed and not worry about how your work compares (subjectively) to another's.<br />There, I'll remove my boot from your ass now. :) Feel better?Laura Enohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09982794146667832204noreply@blogger.com
